Here's the latest update.

The suspect in yesterday's scary school stabbing at the University of California Merced has been identified by officials as 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad. He was a freshman at the school majoring in computer science and engineering, according to NBC News, and he was from Santa Clara, California near San Francisco. Police have also updated their victim count to four, instead of five as widely reported yesterday. The police also released more details on how the events unfolded.

Yesterday around 8 a.m. PST, Faisal rushed into a room in the school's Classroom and Office Building and wielding an 8-10-inch blade he stabbed a student. A nearby construction worker heard the commotion and rushed over in an effort to sidetrack the suspect, but he too was stabbed. Faisal then ran down some stairs and stabbed another student and a student advisor before campus police finally caught up with him, and as we reported yesterday, fatally shot him. Luckily, none of his victims were killed or suffered any life threatening injuries.

The construction worker, Byron Price, 31, is being called a hero by the police, and he had some chilling words about the attacker, "He had a smile on his face, he was having fun, which is more the thing that bothers me."

Faisal had just graduated from Santa Clara's Wilcox High School in June, and they released a statement saying, "This news comes as a shock to our entire community." A former classmate of Faisal told NBC News that the suspect never showed any sign of mental illness or aggression and was "quiet, smart, and did not bother anyone."

Classes at Merced were canceled today, too. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire UC Merced community. The Merced Sun-Starsaid a motive is not yet known.
